NOTES

1. Shawl is worked in a ripple crochet pattern. The ripple pattern is easy to do, but it's important to remember that you may need to work several rows before the ripple pattern becomes clear.
2. The ripple in this design is created by skipping sts on dc rows and working trtogs on tr rows to form 'valleys' and working (1dc, 2ch, 1dc) on dc rows and (1tr, 3ch,1tr) on tr rows to form 'peaks'. Take care to work valleys centered over valleys peaks into the ch-sp of peaks of previous row.
3. An edging is worked across both short ends of Shawl.
